A Salty Sandpiper

Bold, coastal, and unmistakably Galveston, The Salty Sandpiper is a first-row beachfront retreat perched directly on the sand at Karankawa Beach. This vibrant purple beach house stands out beautifully against technicolor Texas sunsets and delivers unobstructed ocean views from nearly every angle. With four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and space to host up to twelve guests, the home blends laid-back luxury with a true toes-in-the-sand lifestyle. From private beach access and expansive balconies to a hot tub, fire pit, and dog-friendly accommodations, every detail is designed for effortless coastal living.

◆ First-Row Beachfront on Karankawa Beach
◆ Private Beach Walkover | Steps from the Sand

THE SPACE
Inside, The Salty Sandpiper welcomes you with a soft coastal color palette, abundant natural light, and an open floor plan that keeps the Gulf front and center. A wall of oversized windows frames endless ocean views, filling the living area with sunlight and the soothing rhythm of the waves. The living room is anchored by a spacious sectional with ample seating for the entire group, creating an inviting space for movie nights, casual conversations, and relaxed afternoons by the fireplace.

The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring ocean-blue cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a wine fridge, and a large prep island with seating for four. Multiple dining options make entertaining effortless, including a main dining table that seats eight and an additional table that comfortably seats four more guests. Whether gathered around the island, the dining tables, or the living area, the layout ensures everyone has a place to settle in and enjoy the view while staying connected in one open, coastal setting.
